Method Detail

getResolverPrefix

public String getResolverPrefix()

Description copied from interface: ExpressionResolver

Get the unique resolver prefix. This allows to address a resolver explicitly, in case of conflicts. By default all registered resolvers are called in order as defined by the Priority annotation.

Specified by:

getResolverPrefix in interface ExpressionResolver

Returns:

the prefix that identifies this resolver instance, e.g. 'config:'. The ':' hereby is not required as a separator, but it is recommended to use it, because it fits well, with the other existing resolvers and is easy to read.

evaluate

public String evaluate(String expression)

Description copied from interface: ExpressionResolver

Evaluates the given expression.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface ExpressionResolver

Parameters:

expression - the expression to be evaluated, not null. If a resolver was addressed explicitly, the prefix is removed prior to calling this method.

Returns:

the evaluated expression, or null, if the evaluator is not able to resolve the expression.
